Texas Waiter Admits Writing Viral Racist Note On Receipt

A Texas waiter at the Saltgrass Steakhouse claimed to have been stiffed and on the receiving end of a racist note. Now the waiter, Khalil Cavil, admits that he made the whole thing up.

Cavil took to Facebook to post a picture of the receipt with the note on it in lieu of a tip.

“I don’t tip terrorist,” the note said next to Cavils name, circled.

Are you kidding me? A server named Khalil Cavil was left no tip & a note saying “we don’t tip terrorist” at the Saltgrass Steak House in Odessa, TX, because the costumer thought he is Muslim. Although he’s Christian the point is just how much hate Muslims are enduring in America. pic.twitter.com/hrHnrRmMRO

The Facebook post went viral. It had thousands of shares and also received coverage from The Washington Post and HuffPost. After Cavil admitted he made up the story, both publications were forced to post corrections above their stories.

“I did write it,” Cavil told the Odessa American, a local Texas paper, on Monday. “I don’t have an explanation. I made a mistake. There is no excuse for what I did.”

Cavil’s admission came after Saltgrass — which at first banned the offending customer for life — admitted that its investigation found the waiter had faked the note.

“After further investigation, we have learned that our employee fabricated the entire story. The customer has been contacted and invited back to our restaurant to dine on us,” Saltgrass COO Terry Turney said in a statement.

“Racism of any form is intolerable, and we will always act swiftly should it occur in any of our establishments. Falsely accusing someone of racism is equaling disturbing.”

Democratic Congresswoman Lauren Underwood is pointing a substantially heavy finger at the Trump administration, accusing them of murdering children during a hearing with Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan. This is ironic considering Democrats are the party advocating abortion…the literal murdering of babies. Underwood said on Wednesday, “People keep dying, and …

Goodness gracious! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just doesn’t know when to stop! She is now accusing President Donald Trump of engaging in a “cover-up.” I guess the flop for Democrats following the Mueller report was too much to bear. “We do believe its important to follow the facts,” Pelosi rambled on, “We believe that no …
